After hitting the Rolls-Royce, the top-tier green tea started fishing.

coming.

Jiang Linfeng is here to snatch him away!

Ruan Zhining was secretly delighted, and immediately adjusted her facial expression, turning her head away charmingly.

It struck Wen Chongyan's cold eyes.

?

Where is Jiang Linfeng?

Ruan Zhining's expression immediately became completely unmoving.

She glared at Wen Chongyan furtively, trying to scare him away. But she failed.

With a slight exertion, Wen Chongyan caused Ruan Zhining to stumble and return to his side.

"How did you end up here?"

He spoke indifferently and released his grip, as if he hadn't been the one who had been so cold just moments before.

Ruan Zhining reluctantly replied with an "oh," "Mr. Shi invited me to dance."

At these social gatherings, female companions are not necessarily partners, and dancing together is a normal social activity.

"Mr. Wen, it's been a long time," the man with the towel flattered. "I just heard from Miss Ruan that she has a very good relationship with your nephew, and that you are a respected elder to her."

"Oh. Is that so?"

Wen Chongyan smiled faintly. But Ruan Zhining felt that he seemed to have turned cold again.

Sure enough, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist as Wen Chongyan embraced her.

...He's a bit too strong.

I have this urge to break her back.

Ruan Zhining dared not move. Wen Chongyan politely nodded a few words to the man with the towel and led her to the other side.

"Gently, gently... Mr. Wen..."

Wen Chongyan didn't stop until he reached the dessert table, on the side where there were fewer people.

Ruan Zhining angrily retorted, "What are you doing! My back hurts so much!"

Wen Chongyan said coldly, "Don't you treat me like an elder? You dance with strange men so casually, shouldn't I have to do something about it?"

Ruan Zhining felt a little guilty. She did want to hook up with a man, but... "Do you know that Mr. Shi?"

Wen Chongyan: "Hmm."

Ruan Zhining: "Do you...do you know every wealthy man in Beijing?"

Wen Chongyan: "Yes."

"..."

Ugh.

Ruan Zhining immediately deflated. She stood there, sighing repeatedly.

Wen Chongyan glared at her coldly, "You're that eager to marry into a wealthy family?"

She said listlessly, "Yeah. You're from a wealthy family, of course you can talk like that without any sense of hardship."

"You can marry anyone?"

"Yeah...no, no, no, I have my own criteria for choosing a partner too, okay?" Ruan Zhining retorted, "Don't look down on us green tea b*tches...(swallows the word 'woman' back), we also have requirements for choosing a partner, okay?"

She became increasingly open and unreserved in front of him.

Her selection criteria—what were they? Wen Xiyu, Jiang Linfeng…

She didn't even choose the richest man. Her taste is so-so.

Wen Chongyan remained expressionless.

He shifted his gaze to a spot not far away, "Do you see that man in the blue suit?"

?

Ruan Zhining turned her gaze and saw a couple happily embracing and dancing.

The woman was wearing very expensive jewelry! Her eyes lit up.

Looking at her greedy expression, Wen Chongyan scoffed, "Do you know her?"

Of course, she's a little radar for the wealthy.

Ruan Zhining answered precisely: "The eldest son and young mistress of the Qianhe Group, I suppose."

"Yes, she sells newspapers. The man is abusive and has three or four mistresses on the side. The woman comes from a common background and doesn't dare to say a word because her family has no status and doesn't support her."

"..."

"Look at that guy, the water seller. He has six or seven illegitimate children. They hire mercenaries to carry out assassinations abroad. The woman in the woman's family is someone with no status in the entertainment industry who married into it. Now she can't even move freely and can't go home."

"..."

Ruan Zhining's eyes widened further.

Is it that scary?

Wen Chongyan looked down at her frightened expression, his tone turning into a low, threatening one.

"You need to understand that marrying into these wealthy families doesn't guarantee you'll be treated well, or that you'll have a good ending... Do you want to be abused like a clown cat?"

"..."

Ruan Zhining couldn't help but shudder and cough uncontrollably.

Wen Chongyan handed her a glass of water and watched her sip it slowly, looking very well-behaved.

Just be good.

"Drink slowly," he said politely. "Did you take my advice?"

"Uh-huh!"

Ruan Zhining nodded. Not only did she listen, she memorized it—she could resell this explosive information to the person who sells information about wealthy families and make a fortune.

Feeling great! As for these two companies, and all the rich kids I've been friends with, I've completely blocked them.

As for Jiang Linfeng, thankfully he doesn't associate with these people...

Wen Chongyan saw that she had been thinking for a long time with her head down, and she must have been reflecting on it—it seemed that she had really taken it to heart.

His furrowed brows relaxed slightly. He thought to himself that if she continued to behave well, he might consider giving her a small reward.

It only costs a little money.

He was advising the scheming woman to reform herself, which could also be considered as accumulating good karma for his ancestors.

That's it.

Ruan Zhining certainly had no intention of reforming herself. She had no desire to accumulate good karma for any ancestors she didn't know; she only wanted to get rich.

After dealing with Wen Chongyan for a while, he was finally called away by business associates.

Before leaving, he even asked a waitress to "monitor" her, saying it in a high-sounding way: "Take care of my female companion, she's timid."

"..."

Ruan Zhining devoured several imported chocolate cakes, then wandered aimlessly around the lobby before suddenly saying, "I want to go outside for some fresh air."

The waitress readily agreed, followed her, and opened the door for her.

Outside the hall is a beautiful flower bed.

On the right side of the flower bed, squatting was a woman dressed in a noblewoman's attire, adorned with jewels.

But contrary to this, she was struggling to support a plant that had been bent over by the rain.

coming.

The main event of tonight is finally here.

Ruan Zhining quickly composed herself and walked over. "Sister, is it convenient for me to help you?"

The woman looked up, revealing her age, but she was very well-preserved.

"Do you know me?" The woman's tone was cold and distant, as if she didn't like to have much contact with people.

That's why, at such a banquet, he would rather hide here and save the flowers than go in to socialize and chat.

Of course Ruan Zhining recognized her. She spent 20,000 yuan to buy information about the Jiang family; how could she not recognize Jiang Linfeng's mother, Ms. Lin Qinggui?

She came to this banquet tonight specifically for Lin Qinggui.

From the story of Wen Chongyan and Wen Xiyu, she concluded that marrying into a wealthy family is not about the man, but about the person who has a voice within the family.

All the power in the Wen family rests with Wen Chongyan; she cannot overcome him.

But the power in the Jiang family didn't lie with Jiang Linfeng; it lay with his mother…

"I don't know you, sister," Ruan Zhining said with a smile, "but I recognize the flowers in your hand, they're Austin roses."

She sighed, "It had just started to bloom when the rain knocked it askew. Just like the one I saved last time."

Lin Qinggui had fallen into the trap. He stared at her intently, "You'll save her?"

Of course she didn't know how. But she watched the video ten times last night and finally understood.

Ruan Zhining asked the maid to find a green pole and a roll of hemp rope to support the flower branches.

"Just straighten it, don't tie it too tight, or you'll damage the phloem."

"Sister, can you help me?"

Lin Qinggui, who had been staring at her profile, quickly snapped out of it and her attitude softened. "Okay."

One of them held the flower branch, while the other carefully tied and secured it.

"Okay."

Ruan Zhining clapped her hands and stood up.

Lin Qinggui thought she wanted to talk more.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Zhining didn't say anything more, only politely said "goodbye" and left.

Lin Qinggui stared at her slender and graceful back, his eyes revealing admiration.

After Ruan Zhining entered the banquet hall, she summoned the housekeeper.

"Go and find out who that girl came with, and what her name is."

"Didn't Linfeng just say that he likes that blind date? We can introduce this girl to him."
